Del tells me to put down the flowers and the picture I made on the green, wet grass. I'm confused!
"You said Mummy was going to be here" I tell him.
"She is Rodders, don't worry." He tells me. I hold Del's hand and look around, fascinated by my surroundings. There's a big cross on a very tall building that's for sure. Everyone's wearing black. I'm trying to understand. Does this mean my Mummy's here but I can't see her? Why not?
As These scary Men get ready to dig up all the yucky mud, Del says goodbye to all the mud and looks up at the sky, I'm confused, but I start waving goodbye. I sort of get an understanding. Is mummy in the sky? It must be magical up there. Del shouts at them for not doing it gently and I laugh, I love my funny brother.
"I'm watching you naughty boys!!!"
I tell them with a very angry face. They get freaked out by me, a 3 year old.
"Your so funny Del" I giggle.
